Probably one of the scariest villains in recent K-Drama history is the character portrayed by Kwak Si-yang in the SBS drama Good Partner, who takes his portrayal of a two-faced character to a chilling extreme.
In recent episodes that aired on Sept. 6 and 7, Kwak Si-yang's character, Cheon Hwan-seo, who is the chairman of the Cheon Medical Foundation, shocked viewers when he was accused of domestic abuse by his wife, Yoo Ji-young, who is filing for divorce.
Good Partner having the case where the wife was being abused but couldn't get a divorce because she couldn't get evidence 😭. They did a very good job showing the system is broken with old laws on this show. #kdrama #GoodPartnerEp13 #GoodPartner #kdramatwt pic.twitter.com/gSECOaXLpo

Cheon tries to argue that her wife is only after his money. The hot chairman was initially portrayed as a loving husband, only to be later revealed that he is a two-faced abuser who constantly tortures his wife with water. His rage eventually ends up killing her.

The intricacy of the case in this Ep kept us on the edge of our seats. It also brought to the forefront important discussions about violence against women, unfair laws, and the true responsibilities of a lawyer. Definitely the most intense one yet!#GoodPartner #GoodPartnerEp12 pic.twitter.com/qBrLxWfw9S

The moment Cheon goes from a loving husband to the cruel man who splashes water on her wife in a fit of rage, as well as his transition to murder her, showcases Kwak's impressive acting skills.
They are really asking the hard questions this episode. Doing your job or just turn a blind eye to obvious wrong and look away..you can see how Yuri and Eunkyung are not comfortable with it…#GoodPartnerEp12 pic.twitter.com/HJZQuJWgPG

However, the best scene in Good Partner is when Cheon threatens the legal counsel with execution and the other characters, Jang Na-ra and Nam Ji-Hyun, who try to protect his interests.
It is arguably Si-yang's best turn at a villain character in his acting career so far, considering that he has been around for some time and often played villains.
Kwak Si-yang's new movie, 6 Hours Later You Die, filmed in Mexico, will premiere in October.
